NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister and former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha and Congress leader Manmohan Singh will appear before the JPC probing the stock scam and the temporary freeze on UTI's flagship scheme US-64, here on Tuesday.

"We will be hearing the views of both Yashwant Sinha and Manmohan Singh tomorrow", JPC Chairman Prakash Mani Tripathi said.

On whether the JPC report would be tabled before the end of the winter session of Parliament, Tripathi said "the work is on day and night".

He said the draft report was being finalised and was expected to be completed soon.

The committee earlier during the month had held interactions with Finance Minister Jaswant Singh and former Finance Minister P.Chidambaram on the stock scam and the UTI fiasco.
